Which value for x would make the perimeter of this rectangle equal 48 inches

Mathematics

RSB [31]2 years ago

Answer:

L = 16; W=8: are the correct values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 2 math statements:

First, for the perimeter:  2W x 2L = 48

Then, for the area:  W x L = 128

Next, we want to take the 2nd equation; then solve it for "W"

W x L = 128

Divide out both sides by "L", to get the "W" equals:

W = 128/L

Next, go back to the first equation.  Where it indicates "W", put in the value of:  128/L in its place; to get:

2L + 2*(128/L) = 48; which gives us:

2L + 256/L = 48

Multiply everything by "L", to get:

2L2 + 256 = 48L

Next, divide out everything by 2, to get:

L2 + 128 = 24L

Next, move the 24L over to the left, to get:

L2 - 24L + 128 = 0

(L-16)* (L-8) = 0

L-16 = 0; L-8 = 0

Which gives us:  L=16; L=8

Let's go with the L=16 first; back into the original equation:

f(16) = 2*16 + 2W = 48

32 + 2W = 48

-=32         -32

2W = 16

Divide out both sides by 2, to get:

W = 8

Next, test our values, by plugging them back into both original equations:

2*16 + 2*8 = 48

32 + 16 = 48        [Check]

L x W = 128

16 * 8 = 128

128 = 128          [Check]

What is the best estimate for the product of 289 and 7
Katarina [22]
I would estimate it as (300 x 7) = 2100 

Then I would subtract (11 x 7) + 77 from that to get the exact answer of 2023 

~~~~~~~~~~ 
I didn't use a calculator or paper. The 'trick' is to notice that 289 = (300 - 11)

What is the slope of the graph? (PLEASE HELP)
Snowcat [4.5K]

to calculate the slope m , use the ' gradient formula '

m = \frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2-x_{1} } }

with (x_{1},y_{1} ) = (0, - 1 ) and (x_{2},y_{2}) = (1, 5 )

m = \frac{5+1}{1-0} = 6

Your friend owes her parents $100. She saves $25 every two weeks. Write an equation That illustrates this situation.
Nutka1998 [239]
If you divide 100 by 25 you will get 4. Then you multiply 4 and 2, which will get you 8. So, it will take her 8 weeks to pay her parents.
